Haydock's commentary
Possession, lately purchased, chap. xxxii. (Lyranus)
Yet some think this had not yet taken place. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "to buy provisions among." Hebrew, "to slip away thence in the midst of the people." (Haydock)
He wished to escape the fury of his enemies at Jerusalem. (Calmet)
It is an old device of persecutors to lay false charges on the innocent, as Julian and the Arians did. (Hist. Tripart. vi. 27.) (Worthington)
